| 42. Am re-reading "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" |
|
which is unfortunately appropos for this thread.
I've taught in 3 districts in CA, and came to the conclusion that there are wide, wide variations in the whole cafeteria scene. All of the schools I've encountered serve mostly free lunches. On some campuses, trays are pretty much thrown at the kids...on others, there's a smile and a greeting. Lunches leave a lot to be desired - nasty pizza, under-ripe fruit.
Invites comparison to my old school cafeteria - $.30 for the "federal" hot lunch,(turkey, spaghetti, meat loaf, baked chicken, roast beef, burgers, macaroni & cheese, fish sticks, etc.), choice of salads, jello, pudding and a slice of delicious cake was $.07 with the federal, $.15 without. Also, 3 different kinds of sandwiches, a couple of different choices of fresh fruit and ice cream. There was much more choice. Even in high school, some kids brought their lunch. TWINKIES!!
Part of this I believe is kitchen capacity - stoves, microwaves, etc. Lotsa schools have lunches brought in - one for all, all for one.
